1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Preamble

M/s Kashi Vishwanath Steels Private Limited (KVS) is an existing industry involved for

production of M S Billet/Rolled products (TMT Bars) through Induction Furnace – CCM –

Rolling Mill route for production of 2,00,000 TPA MS Billets/Ingots & Rolled product

respectively.

To make end product economically viable in present fluctuating market, M/s KVS have

decided to go for expansion by replacement of the existing 5 Tons (02 Nos.) and 4 Tons

(02 Nos.) Induction Furnaces with 6 Tons (03 Nos. - replacement of existing IFs) and 10 Tons

(01 no. replacement & 02 nos. new) capacity Induction Furnaces and modernize

Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) & increasing the output (speed) of existing Rolling

Mill through modernization to enhance the annual production capacity from existing MS

Ingots 57,600 TPA and Steel Bars 88,200 to 2,00,000 TPA respectively.

Capacity expansion by replacing the existing Induction Furnaces will essentially meet the

increasing steel demand. Expansion shall take place within the existing plant area of

14.78 Acres (59817.0 Sqm). No additional land shall be required for the project. The

company has sound financial background and good market base which they will use to

replace existing Induction Furnace with higher capacity to become economic steel

producer of the region.

Shri Arpan Jindal aged about thirty four years, a management graduate by qualification

and having about ten years’ experience in running industrial units. Apart from being the

brain behind the modernization and expansion activities of the flagship company during

the last few years, he was instrumental in setting up the casting manufacturing facility

and lining up the supply of automobile castings to automobile majors such as TATA

Motors and Bajaj Auto Ltd. at Pant nagar. He was also instrumental in setting up the Food

processing plant in Kashipur to serve the Uttarakhand with highly hygienic food product

like Potato Chips, Extruded Snacks & Indian Ethnic Namkeen, Sticks, Multigrain Chips, Puff

Rings, Sun Chips, Coated Peanuts Masala, & various Indian Ethnic Namkeen.

At that time, there was no steel manufacturing facility in Kumaon region

and KVS foresaw the opportunity and tapped the huge potential that the situation

offered. The company was set up in the year 1985 with a small and manual rolling mill.

During the journey of more than three decades, the company has not only expanded

but also has gone in for backward integration by setting up its own Steel Melting Shop by

installing Induction furnaces. Recently, the company adopted the technology whereby

steel billets produced from induction furnace are directly rolled in the rolling mill, thereby

bypassing altogether the requirement of any fuel. This led to cleaner environment as

there is no fuel consumption and therefore no emission and at the same time, this

enabled the company to cut cost of manufacturing to remain a cost effective option for

its consumers.

After having gone in for various expansions and modernizations, the company, having

four induction furnaces, a continuous casting machine and two rolling mills,

manufactures totally ISI marked products like TMT Bars, Mild Steel Angles, Flats, Squares,

Rounds and Channels of various sizes totaling about sixty five product combinations

under IS specification No. 1786, 2062,15911,2830 and 2831, which is a unique feature in

the region.

In the ever changing steel making technology and market dynamics, KVS has always

been at the forefront to recognize the change and adapt to the fast changing

environment. It is only due to a highly motivated team of executives that the company

has been able to achieve consistent growth inspite of cyclical recessionary trends in the

steel industry and specially the downturn in the recent years.

It has a very wide dealer network across the States of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and

National Capital Region. Ethical business conduct, close and regular communication by

marketing team and excellent product quality have ensured that in spite of a very wide

choice, the dealers have been very loyal to the company and have been associated

for a very long period.

The company’s products are ISI certified and enjoy premium over its peers specialty in

the Uttarakhand market. The Quality Management System, Environment Management

System and OHSAS of the company are certified to conform to ISO:9001, ISO:14001 and

OHSAS:18001 respectively.

The Company as well as its promoters was given following awards for their contributions

towards the society and Nation.

1- “PARYAVARAN PURUSKAR” by the Government of Uttarakhand

2- “UDYOG RATAN AWARD” by the Government of Uttarakhand

3- “UDYOG PATRA AWARD” by the Union Minister, Govt. of India

4- “JEWELS OF UP & UTTARAKHAND” by the Government of Uttarakhand

5- “ISPAT UDYOG RATAN AWARD” by the Union Minister, Govt. of India

6- “AMAR UJALA EXELLENCE AWARD” by the Union Minister, Govt. of India

In the ever changing steel making technology and market dynamics, KVS has always

been at the forefront to recognize the change and adapt to the fast changing

environment. It is only due to a highly motivated team of executives that the company

has been able to achieve consistent growth inspite of cyclical recessionary trends in the

steel industry and specially the downturn in the recent years.

The company was set up in the year 1985 initially and obtain NOC from Uttar Pradesh

Pollution Control Board on Dated 12.12.1985 for setting up of small Steel industry for the

production of 30.0 MTPD Steel plates, Angles & Channels at Narain Nagar Industrial

Estate, Bazpur Road, Kashipur. Further NOC expansion was taken on dated 24.06.1992

with an expanded capacity of 100 MTPD. Again NOC expansion was taken by the

company on dated 21.12.2005 for the production of MS Ingots – 160 MTPD by installing

additional 05 MT capacity Induction Furnace. On 26.04.2006 further the existing unit was

expand by obtaining prior NOC from UPPCB to produce MS Bars, Angles & Channels –

245 MTPD. M/s KVS has a valid CCA issued by UEPPCB for the Period 01.04.2017 to

31.03.2018 & now applied for further renewal.

M/s Kashi Vishwanath Steels Private Limited is having the existing production capacity of

MS Ingots 57,600 TPA and Steel Bars 88,200. Now Company is proposed for expansion of

the existing Unit by increase in the Production capacity of MS Ingots - 1,42,400 MTPA and

Steel Bars - 1,11,800 through augmentation in the existing Induction Furnace capacity &

required Utilities. After proposed expansion production capacity of MS Ingots and Steel

Bars will become @200000 MTPA each.

The project activity is listed at S.No. 3(a), Secondary Metallurgical Industry, under

Category ‘B’, as per the EIA Notification, 2006. However, as the project site is located

within 05 km from the interstate boundary (Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand Boarder), the
